Grassholm, Island of Gannets…

Having lived here most of my life I’ve pretty much seen and experienced everything this part of Wales has to offer, that is all except for one place. A place I’ve only ever seen through binoculars from afar, a place that is literally out on it’s own, this place is called Grassholm Island. One of [...]

Skomer with PhotoPlus…

Wow what a day, superb scenery, amazing wildlife and a great bunch of guys! After having previous work featured in PhotoPlus this year and living in the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, I was asked by PhotoPlus to be the pro on their “PhotoPlus Apprentice” feature. It’s a been a few months in the making [...]

A few frozen hours at my local…

Went down my local patch this morning and it’s still frozen solid, took some peanuts with me and there was a feeding frenzy! A Nuthatch! It’s a first for me, always wanted to capture one of these little fellas – didn’t think they’d be hopping about 10 feet away though! All photos on this page [...]

Waxwings at Woburn…

Caught wind of these enigmatic winter migrants whilst visiting relatives on the weekend and jumped at the chance to capture them close by! The Waxwing is definitely one of those poster birds and high on a twitcher’s “tick” list, even non twitcher’s can get excited by their very striking and almost unreal appearance with their [...]

Highlands, Mull & more…

Isle of Seil Yet another rainy and sunny mix of weather along with near gale force winds greeted us on our decent of the “Bridge over the Atlantic” to the Isle of Seil. Seil, one of the Slate Islands, is a small island on the east side of the Firth of Lorn, 7 miles southwest [...]

Monarch of the Glen……Etive!

The main aim of our trip to the Highlands & Islands of Scotland was to bag some shots of the largest land mammal in the UK, the majestic Red Deer. An animal, ubiquitous to the Highlands of Scotland comes alive in the Autumn months. October, mainly being rather wet and wild (which we experienced more [...]

A Rarity! Squacco Heron here in Pembs…

Caught wind of this bird spotted at a local bay so went down this morning to try and photograph it. Superb weather and the bird was still there!! Bold as brass and wasn’t deterred from it’s busy fishing task, was happily snapped from twenty feet away, definately not like other skittish waders who fly off [...]

Barn Owls ~ Carlton Marshes, Suffolk…

The main aim for the East Anglia trip was to photograph the Barn Owl. A somewhat uncommon bird in Pembrokeshire seems to be thriving in the Norfolk and Suffolk areas. Weather and light wasn’t on my side most nights, especially shooting at dusk but thankfully it was sunny for our final night and managed to [...]

East Anglia ~ Birds & Wildlife…

After Fairford headed across to Lowestoft for a few days to see the sights and sounds of the local wildlife. Visited a few different RSPB reserves along the way and of course, lot of time spent in hides. Travelling along the back lanes produced plenty to see, whether they stood still long enough to have [...]

Pied Wagtail ~ Motacilla alba

An often overlooked bird, due to it being quite common in car parks and towns, the Pied Wagtail is a small black and white (pied) bird with a long tail. The most distinctive feature is its wagging tail – it never stops! The differences in the plumage of males and females and at different times [...]
